Volunteering time in South East Asia seems like a worthwhile endeavor. But practically, wouldn't it be better to get a job back home and donate a share of the money you earn?

Then, they could pay a local to do your work and still have money leftover.

(it's less exciting to donate money than time, I guess)

With money, you can never be sure just exactly how much of it is going to the cause, and not into the overhead costs of an organization.

If you are here in Korea, volunteering your time would be a good thing. If you are on an E-2 though be very careful though. You need to get permission to do volunteer work.
